Fifth Pocket Chonk
After a year of making KSO's and putting handles on premade blades I finally finished my first one from scratch this weekend. I'd been pretty daunted by the heat treatment process, decided to finally give it a shot, this blade was in my discard pile so I was ready to screw it up. HT seemed to go alright, will have to see how long it holds an edge.
The scales are up-cycled burlap coffee bags (I work at a roastery) pressed in epoxy. The steel is 8670.
I'm so glad this sub exists, and would appreciate any feedback or constructive criticism.
